Under the Milky Way • The Church • 2009 NYC

[gtorresag]

Hello my friends, I am from Mexico, and believe me, the church with is one of the most outstanding bands for the ones that like the good music in Mexico...

[Sig269]

Fantastic group. Wayyy too underrated

[StoogeWatcher]

The Church is one of the most underrated 1980s alt-rock group in history.

[rodrigoandrescc]

Buenisima cancion!!!!!

[151badfish]

Lubricated Goat

[duncanstpt]

Looking at the singer's waistline, I think he has been Under the Milky Way candy bars.

[texreb66]

@duncanstpt funny, but you're still a wanker!!!! I can't wait to see when you get our age

[Pistolero7081]

Todo esto es una burla a la inteligencia. ¿Por qué no madura? Oh, me olvide, que no tienen la inteligencia infantil.

[duncanstpt]

The singer looks overweight. I think the 'Milky Way' he's been singing about must be the candy bar.

[bigpapi401]

whatever dude, this song rocks, who cares if he has aged, some day you will be a fat fuck

[Jmitchpen1013]

@bigpapi401

No shit. To all of you tossers who can only make "witty" comments about the lead singer's waistline, perhaps your skinny asses can sing this 80's classic as well as he can. No?? He could lose weight if he really wanted to, can you gain his vocal prowess as much as you would like to? Yeah, didn't think so....

[Breatherable]

@Jmitchpen1013 If you want to see Stever Kilbey in full flight search "The Church ARIAS 2010" hilarious, he is as sharp as ever.

[Souplesse000]

@duncanstpt 30 years ago - yes 30! - I think most women would agree they were one of the best looking group of blokes around and making music so cool that tho they never charted big they can still pack a large hall to this day. Need I also mention their music was completely out of step with their time but they persevered and led a light for many to follow. Integrity. They had that too.

[rareamazon]

It's like it was....last night. Love to them and love to anyone who remembers.

[seacry70]

I was really disappointed to see that they did not use an Ebow live for the "bagpipe" sound in the solo. That bit gave the song so much more character on the studio album.

[indraeek]

seacry70 -- Peter DOES use an ebow for the solo here (at 2:05 he takes it from someone off stage, plays a bit and then tosses it towards the back at approx.2:39, then he takes it again 3:26 and uses it until the end of the song). The solo you hear on the studio version of the song on Starfish is an African bagpipe piece run backwards through a synclavier.

[seacry70]

@indraeek I went back and watched in full screen. Sure enough at 2:05 he is handed an Ebow. He pays his solo and then tosses it. It does not have the typical sound that an ebow usually produces (at least that I am familiar with). I have always thought that is how he got the bagpipe sound. Thanks.

[xtranet1]

good call dude!

[ChemtrailsEire]

I bought "Blurred Crusade" back in the early eighties and played only it in my walkman for MONTHS!

I hightly recommend it even now.

A Legend of a band.

[thegreenestthings]

absolutley timeless

[deeperwaterz]

cool band somewhat obscure but I love this song

[StoogeWatcher]

They're legends in Australia. This was their only US Top 40.

[deeperwaterz]

I never knew they were from AU allot of quality musicians come from there. :)

[StoogeWatcher]

Midnight Oil is another Australia group that had one U.S. Top 40: Beds are Burning. Unlike The Church, Midnight Oil disbanded and reunited occasionally. The lead singer is now a political activist.

[deeperwaterz]

I remember them and also INXS for sure, I met them in St Petersburg Florida in the 80`s and a friend of mine told me Michael Hudgens ordered cookies and milk for dinner in a 5 star restaurant...lol

The latest hot band from AU is Wolfmother.

[dolllylllama]

Damn, I would've peed my dax had i met Hutch!!!  ;-P

[deeperwaterz]

They were all great guys and one guy still owns a home down the street from my friends house but, He`s never there.

cheers

[dolllylllama]

Amen to that!

[robert0414]

@deeperwaterz agree 100%

[dolllylllama]

@robert0414 : Australia has put out so many outstanding bands that's it's hard even to narrow it down for me. Thankfully because of the fairly large Aussie presence in NYC, we're lucky enough to be able to catch quite a few Aussie acts, sometimes even in the smaller venues, which ya just can't beat! So much great music, so little time! Anyway, glad you liked the digivid. This is one of my fave songs by them.

[robert0414]

@dolllylllama NYC here I come .... one day.

[vangoghsear]

one of the most underrated songs i've ever fell in love with

[deeperwaterz]

they have ruined it recently using it for a car commercial :(

[bottleslingguy]

not really because that's how i found it. it's how you use the information that's important

[deeperwaterz]

I think the whole thing of taking it commercializing it turned me off.

[OMNIFICPICTURES]

My all time favorite rock tune!

[RPattzFanNJ]

Missed this concert in NY this summer. Thanks for posting. The Mercury commercials are using a cover of this song. Got me to look up the original.

[arnie113]

What is the problem with this video? It keeps starting and stopping.--arnie113

[oLdSkOoLkisS]

Nice sustain timing on the guitar! I've always thought this was a unique song & band.

[wolfpacguy]

really brilliant song. true genius

[MrMcNoyes]

I was in the audience of this show. it was great. They are a great band, they have so many good numbers

[eddysacat]

God I loved this song in high school

[MileSeventySeven]

so great! we just posted our version of this classic. what an amazing composition. kudos to the church and to you for posting!

[chilidahwg]
